Receive Your Grafting Procedure From a Gum Specialist

Gum recession is surprisingly common among adults. Half of people between the ages of 18 to 64 have a receding gumline, and nine out of 10 adults above the age of 65 do as well. During a gum grafting procedure, tissue from the roof of your mouth or from a donor is placed along the areas where you have lost gum tissue. In some cases, synthetic gum tissue may be used.

During your examination, we will use X-rays to get a full picture of your mouth and determine which treatment is best for you. Most important, we also will address any periodontal infections if you haven’t seen us before for treatment. You’ll know your gum repair is in the right hands because it’s performed by a board-certified periodontist, a specialist in gum health.

There’s no reason to feel anxious about the procedure either. We will:

  • Numb your mouth with a local anesthetic so you don’t feel a thing
  • Offer you sedation to keep you completely relaxed throughout your treatment
  • Provide you with a neck pillow, blanket, and headphones for music or TV so you feel at home
